MOD Polarity

MOD Polarity plays a key role when it comes to installing MODs and the use of your MOD capacity.

Each MOD has a specific polarity, which is depicted as a little symbol in the top right corner of the MOD card. Certain Warframes and Weapons come with one or more MOD slots polarized. When it comes to using MODs with polarity slots, it is important to make sure they are linked correctly. Correctly alligned MODs can greatly reduce your used MOD capacity.

When MODs are alligned correctly it will reduce the cost by half, e.g. an MOD requiring eight capacity slots will only use four. This number however is always rounded up. So with a MOD requiring a capacity of five it will use three when alligned correctly.

When not alligned correctly the cost is increased by a third. So a MOD requiring a capacity of six will increase to one needing eight.
